Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / October 2006Water in Driver Footwell
Disco Series II V8i 2002: Intermittent (and so far untraceable) water leakage into the driver (RHD) footwell is becoming exasperating! I just can't trace it, and hesitate to rip out all the centre console and carpeting etc. Any ideas? Is there any form of overflow from the heating / aircon system that could be responsible? How about a blocked drain hole? GAJ || Disco Series II V8i 2002: || [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] || || GAJ First thing to look for is a blocked drain hole for the aircon. There are two tubes leading down from the passenger compartment either side of the gearbox. Get underneath and look around with a torch - they're a bit awkward to reach IME. Poke some wire up and be prepared for a faceful of water. Dry out your carpets and keep an eye on it. Very common problem, and easy fix.

I've had wet carpets for 2 years now and can only alleviate the problem by holes drilled in the floor pan!!....k > || Disco Series II V8i 2002: > || [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Take out the obvious to email me. > Any suggestions for an 'easy fix' on the problem in a S1 disco with no A/C? > I've had wet carpets for 2 years now and can only alleviate the problem by [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > water.

I did say the "first thing to look for" - IME 9 times out of 10 it's something simple. The trouble is, the 10th time it's a wallet-breaker.

If it's anything like the disco I then it's a dash out job. I did it on the 200-type, takes about 4 hours start to finish. Might be a bit less if you knew what you were doing. dunno what sort of a job it is on a disco II. It has been observed, with some justification, that the first part of many cars fitted is the heater matrix, i.e. everything else is fitted around it.

Only when the Disco is parked on the drive though.
